How about "The Proud Mustang Suite"
We've already got a "Mustang Suite", decorated with gobs of stuff from this group's own Vlado Lenoch! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

"Richard Riley" wrote Emerging from Kelly Field, Texas, as a Second Lieutenant, Roddenberry was sent to the South Pacific where he entered combat at Guadalcanal, flying B-17 bombers out of the newly-captured Japanese airstrip, which became Henderson Field. He flew missions against enemy strongholds at Bougainville and participated in the Munda invasion. In all, he took part in 89 missions and sorties. He was decorated with the Distinguished flying Cross and the Air Medal. Roddenberry later received a Civil Aeronautics commendation for his efforts during and after the crash." Also, the man who designed the "Enterprise" itself, Matt Jefferies, was a pilot based at Santa Paula for many years. Wow, I am a bit of a Star Trek buff, but I had no idea about all of Rodenberry's history! I suppose that the Jefferies tube got it's name from the designer. -- Jim in NC |

Reno Air Racing Suite? (im sure LOTS of memorabilia there..)
We've already got a "Reno Air Racing Suite"! (It's our smoking-allowed honeymoon suite, and it's chock full of stuff that RARA gave us when we attended the race in '04.) See it he http://alexisparkinn.com/reno_air_race_suite.htm Air mail? Given Iowa City's historic place in air mail history (see http://alexisparkinn.com/the_iowa_city_airport.htm for the whole story) I would LOVE to do an Air Mail Suite. Unfortunately, I simply can't make it sound any more boring. There is simply no non-aviation person who would EVER book an "Air Mail Suite".... :-( Bush Pilot? (again, maybe objectionable to those with sophmoring humor) Yeah, we've batted that one around. Maybe "Back Country Suite"? All Beavers on Floats, and lots of Super Cubs on tundra tires? It could be decorated like a back-woods cabin that might appeal to the non-pilot crowd... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

(We were pondering how many children have been conceived in all those hot tub suites over the last 20 years. I'll bet it's hundreds? Maybe we need to come up with an "Incubator Suite", or an "Immaculate Conception Suite", or something???) A word to the wise: if you ever name it 'Immaculate Reception Suite', you'll probably get a *lot* of visitors from Oakland and *no* visitors from Pittsburgh. :-) For those whom may be unaware of the story behind that one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immaculate_Reception -Dan |

That "Great Bird in the Sky" -- or :something to that effect? The Great Bird of the Galaxy. I was working at Paramount when he died and made the offer for the missing man. The Star Trek producers said that would be wonderful, and asked how much it would cost. I told them that's not the way it works. The Condor Squadron - T6's - at Van Nuys volunteered, but I thought Long EZs would be more appropriate. I contacted the Beech dealer at Van Nuys to see if they'd fly the Starship they had there as the #2. He refered me to a sales VP at Beech. I explained the situation for him and asked if they'd join us, since the memorial was about a 3 minute flight away from their base. He said "Why would we ever do that?" I tried to explain that a) GB had come up with the name "Starship" and had graciously allowed Beech to use it and b) there'd be about 20 television crews covering it but he just wouldn't hear of it. The later Star Trek ships were called "Defiant" and "Voyager." Not an accident. |

My dad worked at Rockwell during Apollo. He had a series of very realistic pictured they did for publicity. One of the best was looking down past a Stearman as it banked over a Saturn V on the launch pad. |

We need something that allows us to do ultralights, without the name.
Affordable Flights Suite ? :^) I still like the Mile High Suite though, you'll have that one booked solid with a year's backlog. Especially with the college kids near by. Heck, you might need a couple more Mile High Suites. The Monk |
